When unemployed dockworker Joey Coyle finds $1.2 million that fell off of an armored car, he decides to do the logical thing: take the money and run. After all, he says, finders keepers. He turns to his ex-girlfriend Monica, who works in an investment firm, for advice, before turning to the mob for help laundering the money. While Joey makes plans to leave the country, however, a detective is following his ever-warmer trail in order to recover the cash.

Michael RapaportKenny KozlowskiIn real life, Joey Coyle and the mobster did not force the car into water, but simply drove to New Jersey and abandoned it. Also, in real life, three people saw Coyle find and take the money, unlike in the movie where the movie Coyle does stop to check to see if anyone was around when he found the money and sees nobody (in fact in the movie a homeless boy saw him, but was hidden from view).
[about the money]
Joey Coyle:
Think about it Kenny. Did we hurt anyone?
Kenny Kozlowski:
No.
Joey Coyle:
Did we steal it from anyone?
Kenny Kozlowski:
No.
Joey Coyle:
Are we giving it back. *Hell no!*
Continuity: There is a scene in which Joey throws nickles at Dino. One of the coins stick to his forehead. When the scene comes back shortly, the coin is gone, but when the scene focuses on Dino again the coin is back.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
